NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice sessions and the Camping World Truck Series race Aug. 17 from Michigan International Speedway will be among the live telecasts on the first day Fox Sports 1 goes on air in place of the Speed cable network.

Among those still negotiating carriage fees with Fox Sports 1 are DirecTV, Dish and Time Warner Cable. Spokesmen for DirecTV and TWC said Thursday that discussions are ongoing and Dish also has not signed a deal, according to the SportsBusiness Daily.

Speed is in nearly 86 million homes, but millions of its current subscribers won’t be able to see Fox Sports 1 unless a carriage deal is finalized.

DirecTV has 20 million subscribers, Time Warner Cable serves 14.6 million customers and Dish has 14 million subscribers. Not all of those subscribers pay for packages that include Speed (and would include Fox Sports 1), but those are three of the largest television providers in the country.

According to the SportsBusiness Journal, Speed costs about 23 cents each month per subscriber, and Fox is looking to increase that to 80 cents per month.

It’s not surprising that these negotiations go down to the wire, but it’s enough to make NASCAR fans nervous as the channel they know as Speed will cease to exist when Fox Sports 1 is launched in its place in about a week.

“For many operators, Fox Sports 1 will launch in the same channel location now occupied by Speed,” Fox Sports said in a statement. “We hope that all major cable, satellite and telephone video services will offer Fox Sports 1 at the time of its August launch this month, giving it wide distribution.”

A NASCAR spokesman declined comment as negotiations between the network and the cable and satellite operators continue.

Among the NASCAR programming scheduled for Fox Sports 1 for Aug. 17 is all of the NASCAR activity at Michigan—both Sprint Cup Series practices as well as the truck qualifying and race. Fox Sports 1’s prerace and postrace shows—NASCAR RaceDay and NASCAR Victory Lane—are scheduled for Aug. 18.

Just three days later—Aug. 21 at Bristol—Fox Sports 1 is scheduled to show both truck practices as well as the truck race that night. All Cup and Nationwide practices, as well as Nationwide qualifying Aug. 23 from Bristol, also are scheduled for Fox Sports 1.

That’s a good deal of NASCAR content in the first seven days of the new network—all of which NASCAR fans are in jeopardy of not seeing.

In addition to the launch of Fox Sports 1 in place of Speed, another network, Fox Sports 2, will launch on the same day in place of Fuel. Fox Sports 2 is not expected to have as tense negotiations for carriage fees, according to SBJ.

According to the SBJ, Fuel is in 36.8 million homes.

No NASCAR national series races are scheduled for Fox Sports 2, but among its programming later this month are replays of truck races and the NASCAR Race Hub news show, truck qualifying and the NASCAR modified race Aug. 21 at Bristol and select Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series practices Aug. 30-31 at Atlanta.
